Siemens Healthineers’s solution for complex coronary interventions - Corindus CorPath GRX

The world's leading system for robotic-assisted coronary interventions advances these procedures for caregivers and patients alike. CorPath GRX helps to create a safer work environment for interventionalists by allowing operators to perform procedures from a radiation-shielded workspace. With automated procedural movements and precise anatomical measurements, the robotic system also helps operators navigate complex anatomies more consistently and predictably, aids in selection of the appropriate stent, and ensures accuracy in device-positioning.

Using CorPath GRX allows physicians to participate in cutting-edge clinical innovation, enhancing their reputation and that of their institution.

Reduce time in lead and radiation exposure


The catheterization lab is a hazardous workplace. Wearing heavy lead takes a physical toll: One in two interventionalists suffers at least one orthopedic injury.1 Moreover, various cancers are linked to radiation exposure.3,4 As interventions grow in length and complexity,18 these risks are likely to increase.

CorPath GRX virtually eliminates radiation exposure for primary operators, 6 can potentially reduce strain and fatigue, and lessens the risk that careers will be cut short.


  • One in two interventionalists suffers at least one orthopedic injury 1
  • Every tenth interventionalist had a health-related period of absence 1
  • -95% reduction of radiation exposure to the operator with R-PCI 2

Precision stenting


Position the right stent in the right place

Two-thirds of visually estimated lesions result in inappropriate stent length selection, 9 which negatively impacts outcomes. These patients are more than twice as likely to require target-vessel revascularization within one year and three times as likely to have a myocardial infarction within three years. 17

CorPath GRX allows for instantaneous sub-mm measurement of anatomy and precise device positioning with 1mm movements. This may reduce measurement errors, the need for extra stents and the incidence of longitudinal geographic miss. 9


  • 2/3 of coronary lesion lengths were inaccurately estimated 9
  • 0.1mm measurement of anatomy to determine lesion length with R-PCI
  • 1mm positioning of devices with R-PCI
